Blue Chip Casino Hotel and Spa
Steakhouse was closed and they turned the sports bar into a sports gaming room (that was empty) so there really was no place to eat on property which is a little ridiculous. There was a walk up deli place, but I wanted sit down meal.

Ameristar Casino Hotel East Chicago
If you are not a smoker- this is NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU! We had 4 nights reserved and only stayed 1. Even the bedding reeked of stale cigarette smoke. My daughter had a difficult time with smoke reaction. They would not refund the rest of our trip. Disappointing.

Spring House Inn
Notice it wasn’t as nice as previous stays. No hot chocolate, not much for breakfast, etc. BUT woke up to mice and mice poop took it over the edge.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Merrillville, IN
Plenty of shopping and food near by. My room was stuffy and not as clean. There was a stain or debris on one of the walls near the bed. Bathroom floor had hair on it. Breakfast was minimal.
